[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Part of the reason why Ventus won't straight up give the Combee to you is just how unlucky and irresponsible in game Larry is. Going into tall grass alone and having to be bailed out is one thing, but ignoring most if not all his Pokémon, doing bone headed things like have them all out at once without giving them prior orders to carry out, being a jerk to Shiva (Ventus never forgets. Never.).... I could go on, really

Let's not forget that Larry's also capable of straight up murdering his Pokémon. Even as ruthless Ventus can be at times, he would never do that to his own Pokémon.

To put it politely, Ventus has good reason to be reluctant about trading away a potentially dangerous Pokémon...
